Dental Implants Hartwell
The Cutting-Edge, Modern Answer to Tooth Loss
Are you missing one or more natural teeth? Now, patients who have been struggling with an incomplete smile for too long can pursue a revolutionary alternative to traditional dentures and bridges – dental implants. Unlike its counterparts, implants go beyond the recreation of a simple dental crown (the portion of your tooth that shows when you smile); they also provide a replacement for the root that’s hidden under the gum line, which helps improve your oral health and create a strong foundation for durable, naturally seamless teeth.
Contact Lake Hartwell Dentistry today if you’d like to learn more about dental implants, or if you’re ready to schedule your first appointment. We welcome new patients from Elberton and other surrounding areas.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed below the gumline and designed to replace the missing roots of teeth. Due to their biocompatibility, they are able to fuse with the jawbone and provide a strong, supportive foundation for a free-standing dental crown, bridge, or denture to be attached to. This allows for natural-looking and feeling results, as well as stronger chewing power.
The Dental Implant Process
-
Consultation:
In order to determine whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants in Hartwell, each of our patients’ journeys begins with a thorough consultation. During this visit, we will examine your mouth, capture a cone beam CT scan, and walk you through your personalized treatment plan. -
Placement:
Callaway has advanced training in dental implant placement. This means that you won’t have to worry about being referred out to a different office for your surgery. You’ll be able to see the same friendly faces, and the best part is that you’ll know you’re receiving exceptional care the entire time. -
Osseointegration:
Following your surgery, your dental implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This typically occurs over the course of three to six months. -
Restoration:
Before our team can secure your new replacement teeth to the dental implants, we’ll attach small metal connector pieces called abutments. Then, once your permanent prosthetic arrives at our office, we’ll be able to complete your smile!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a wide range of benefits that make them a top choice for patients looking to replace missing teeth, including:
- Restore up to 80% of your natural chewing power.
- A long lifespan of 20 years or longer with good oral hygiene.
- Eliminates the slipping or shifting that can occur with a traditional denture.
- Natural-looking and feeling results.
- No need to alter healthy existing teeth.
Advanced Dental Implant Technology: The CBCT Scanner
Dental implants need to be placed within a jawbone that is strong enough to support them. To ensure the surgery is successful, the team will take a CBCT scan prior to the implant placement. This technology creates a digital 3D image of your dental anatomy including the teeth, supporting bone, nerves, and any possible pathology. This 3D image is then used to accurately plan the placement of the dental implants to deliver the best function, esthetics, and outcome possible.
